"'Silence of the Lambs' star Ted Levine denounces his legendary villain role after transgender criticism"

Ridiculous! People have made this man who portrayed a deeply sick individual extremely well is being made to feel bad about it. Who gives a crap if he was transgender or a transvestite? The point was that he was unstable and did psychotic and weird stuff! Nobody is saying that he did it because he was trying to become a woman.

This is as stupid as that Sharon Stone movie and the gay community went nuts because they felt that people were saying that the movie was stating that a lesbian had to be the murderer. And the movie sucked and people still talk about it too much.

Maybe the straight men in the world should go nuts every time a gay man plays a straight man....
